335 Meeting
Doctor Sun nodded and entered the room.
Yue Jiaojiao casually flicked her wrist.
“What’s wrong with your hand? Did you hurt yourself?”
“I’m fine.” Yue Jiaojiao shook her head hurriedly. “I just felt a bug in my hand and wanted to get rid of it.”
“It’s a big deal if there are bugs. When Doctor Sun comes out, I’ll ask him for some medicinal powder and sprinkle it around the courtyard. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. If we don’t pay attention, it’ll be too late to get rid of all the bugs.”
While the two of them were talking…
The door opened with a creak and Doctor Sun walked out of the room.
“How did it go?”
Doctor Sun pointed at the pavilion, then turned around to close the door. He went down the steps and walked to the bottom of the pavilion.
“Zhao Zhan’s pulse sounds fine. His foundation is much stronger than Fang Tianlius. He overworked his body and is exhausted, causing his body to be weak.
“He’ll recover after a good night’s sleep and a few days of rest. Fang Tianliu, on the other hand, needs to drink some medicine to recuperate.”
Hearing this, Madam Qin patted her chest.
“I’m relieved to hear that. I’ll get a chicken tomorrow and make a bowl of nourishing soup.”
Doctor Sun looked at Yue Jiaojiao hesitantly.
“Doctor Sun, do you have something to say?”
Doctor Sun stroked his beard and cleared his throat before continuing, “It’s nothing much. Does that kid know that you’re pregnant?”
“Not yet. I’m going to tell him when he wakes up.”
“Your body is not as heavy as it used to be. You have to pay more attention to it and don’t let Zhao Zhan do as he pleases. When he has recovered, I will give him two sets of herbs to clear the heart and lower the fire.”
Madam Qin didn’t come over for a while. “Doctor Sun, didn’t you just say that our young master is fine?”
Yue Jiaojiao’s face flushed red. She quickly grabbed Madam Qin and stopped her from asking further questions. “Madam Qin, it’s normal for the weather to cool down when it’s hot. Don’t worry.”
She looked at Doctor Sun after she finished speaking. “Doctor Sun, don’t worry. I understand.”
Doctor Sun nodded carelessly and took out a small porcelain bottle from his medicine box. “Jiyan asked someone to send this over. It’s important for the fetus in your womb to grow into a healthy baby. Put the pill in warm water every night and dissolve it before drinking it. While the fetus is not yet fully formed, you should take this chance to replenish your vitality.”
Although Yue Jiaojiao’s pulse was strong, everyone would stay a little uneasy until the child was born safely. They were just hiding it for Jiaojiao’s sake.
Otherwise, if everyone in the courtyard was frowning, it would really affect everyone’s mood.
Perhaps the originally good thing would also become not as wonderful.
“Have you managed to contact Sun Jiyan?”
“I’ve already contacted him. He’s been in the Southwest for the past few months. It’s a good thing he hasn’t left that place yet. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even know where to send the letter if I wanted to tell him your good news.
“The pill he sent over has a few medicinal herbs that are unique to the Southwest. I tested the medicinal power and it’s pretty good.”
Madam Qin helped Yue Jiaojiao put away the small porcelain bottle. “Doctor Sun, you sound like you miss him. Did he say when he would be back?”
Doctor Sun shook his head.
“Just let him be.”
“Madam Qin.”
A voice suddenly came from the entrance of the courtyard.
Madam Qin stood up.”I’ll go over and take a look first.”
After Madam Qin left, Doctor Sun did not stay any longer and got up as well. “I’ll be heading to the front yard to get my medicinal herbs first.”
“Miss Li is here. She’s unloading goods at the door.”
“What goods?” Yue Jiaojiao held onto the table and slowly got up. “Did she buy something and accidentally send it over or something else? Let’s go and take a look.”
The two of them walked all the way to the door.
Li Xiangjun looked at Yue Jiaojiao’s figure and waved her hand. “Jiaojiao, why did you come out? I’ll go in after I’ve taken my things.”
“Madam Qin, Doctor Sun asked me to bring this medicine bag to you. He said that you should put it in when you boil the chicken soup tonight.”
Yue Jiaojiao turned her head when she heard the voice.
She looked at Fang Tianliu, who was walking over, and then immediately looked outside the door.
Li Xiangjun, who had already recognized the voice, lowered her head and subconsciously fiddled with the box beside her.
“Oh?” Fang Tianliu swung the medicine bag in his hand, “Why are you all at the door? Did someone come by? I heard that Li Miao next door gave birth to…”
The voice stopped abruptly when he saw Li Xiangjun.
Fang Tianliu did not say a word.
Yue Jiaojiao wasn’t used to being in such a hellish place, so she quietly tugged on Madam Qin’s sleeve, wanting to leave early with her and give the space at the door to the two of them.
“Jiaojiao…”
Li Xiangjun hurriedly said. She couldn’t care less about the box in her hand and hurriedly walked up the steps. She used Yue Jiaojiao’s figure to avoid Fang Tianliu’s gaze. “I’ll follow you to the backyard. I have something to say to you.”
Upon seeing this, Madam Qin tried to smooth things over. “My lady, it’s too tiring to stand at the door. You should go to the backyard with Miss Li. If there’s anything you need to clean up, you can tell me and I’ll do it. You came at a bad time today, there’s no more cold green bean porridge, but there’s some sweet milk if you’d like. I’ll bring it to you later.”
Li Xiangjun thanked her politely. “Sure, thank you so much, Madam Qin.”
Her footsteps were hurried, but Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t walk fast.
“Li Xiangjun!”
Fang Tianliu suddenly said, his eyes staring straight at her back.
Li Xiangjun’s body tensed up. She closed her eyes and didn’t turn her head, but she subconsciously stopped in her tracks.
“Can’t you see that Jiaojiao can’t keep up with you?” Fang Tianliu’s fingers, which were hidden in his sleeves, clenched into fists, and even his breathing was a little unstable. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to be calm. “Can you walk a little slower? Do you even care about other people’s feelings?”
Yue Jiaojiao glanced at Li Xiangjun’s reaction from the corner of her eyes.
She suddenly wanted to be a translator. Fang Tianliu’s words had a hidden meaning, and he was clearly beating around the bush to feel aggrieved for himself.
“There’s no need for you to worry. I’ve always been very considerate towards the friends I like.”
Yue Jiaojiao closed her eyes.
That was basically piercing an arrow through the heart!
This was it.
“Is that so?” Fang Tianliu sneered, and his tone was full of mockery. Must be easy for you to say. I just don’t know how much of the love you just said is true.”
“Fang Tianliu, you don’t have to beat around the bush and mock me.” Li Xiangjun’s feet moved but she did not turn her head. “It has nothing to do with you whether I’m being sincere or not.”
Yue Jiaojiao wished she could disappear and just leave her ears to listen in on the conversation instead.
Li Xiangjun held her arm. “I’m sorry. I’ve wasted your time here. Let’s go to the backyard. Madam Qin, can you help me get the things next to the carriage?”
